Dan. I was runnin A 03 3500 SRW. Until I dropped the intake valves on #4 and smashed my motor too pieces A few days ago. I work the snot outta my trucks and I can say the Dick Cepek Mud Country's are A good tire. I had three sets on that truck while I had it. Properly rotated I would get about 60,000 KM's outta A set. Not sure what that is in miles but in my end of the world that is pretty good. And they will dig ya A hole or get ya outta there...... They have staged lugs so easy too tell how much wear you have left. Only thing I found with them is when you get too the bitter end and they decide they are done they go in A hurry.

I run good ol BFG A/T's and get anywhere from 40-50 k miles out of a set. I don't even rotate but maybe two or three times a set. My next set of tires might be the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac.

Last set of BFG ATKO's lasted 62,000 miles. Current set has almost 40,000 and are wearing better than the first.

toyo m/t ...........there expensive but will outlast any tire you can put on that truck...i know of people getting 70k out of these tires a friend of mine got 56k out of his 315s and when he took em off his truck they still passed PA inspection. his truck was a crew cab f350 stroker and he towed a 28 foot trailer alot of the time....

agree with the crow ive gotten 15,000 n my toyo m/ts and i bought them with over 20,000 miles on them and they are 3/4 tread left on them and id have to say im not the easyest on tires both rear quarter panels are solid black from burnouts or dounuts ill put another set back on. Ride as smooth as a street tire little noise but not bad at all pulls well great miles go with load range e if possible
